The atmosphere was extremely cozy. We offered a children's and music program with children's singing by Nele, storytelling by Arna, creative face painting by Nujud and performances by the senior choir GuteN.66 and Ramin, one of the best Rubab musicians. A big thank you to all the participants who prepared delicious treats and gave us the gift of their warmth. A special thank you to all the crafters and seamstresses for our bazaar with a diverse selection of Christmas gifts for all tastes. We would also like to thank all our guests for sharing this magical Christmas atmosphere with us.
